Someone should shop for me

[sincere]

Oh god, why can't I just find a belt.

I was in like three different stores last weekend. I found belts with all sorts of decorations. In all sorts of styles. With all sorts of exorbitant pricetags.

I don't need it to be decorated or styled. I shouldn't have to have a different belt for every sweater I'm going to wear. I certainly shouldn't have to pay $40 for a thin strip of leather.

The only thing it needs to do is hold up my pants.

If this continues, I will find rope, or tear up my fugly red linen dress and use THAT as a belt.

You could always bribe Lucinda to knit you one. (http://knitty.com/ISSUEsummer05/PATTboulderbelt.html) (Okay, yeah, it's a men's belt pattern, but you could have one in basic black and then you'd be set.)

Haha, that's awesome. XD I may nag her.

Pacsun sold me my favorite belt. It's canvas, green, with metal holes. It comes in a wide assortment of colors and it so incredibly NEUTRAL. I don't think they still sell them, though. I wish I'd bought it in more colors. It matches every-fucking-thing, from t-shirt and jeans to turtle neck sweaters and $300 coats.

Maybe you'll have luck there?

I checked it out and they don't have quite what I wanted, but their belts are surprisingly palatable. XD I may stalk them.

Send me ten dollars in whatever form, and I'll buy a wonderfully simple stretchy nylon black belt from my local Wal-Mart and mail it back to you post-haste. Or should I just get you such for (insert winter holiday of choice here) ?

...if I'm still begging for a belt close to the holidays, I may take you up on one of those offers. XD

Target probably has some belts that are inexpensive and around what you need.

Good idea! I'm totally retarded and didn't think to go to a Target. Duhr. XD Thanks!

You need an EPIC Belt of Kayness!

Sadly enough I was thinking the other day how I needed a belt for my new pair of jeans, but was too lazy to go out looking for one that wasn't sparkly or hot pink or all metal or something. *sigh*

Curse you normal human beings and your sense of style! :P

Target? Wal-mart? K-mart? If you go to cheaper/poorer neighborhoods, street vendors might have them for $3. I go to the Lower East Side and get them for like $3 or $4. They're a pretty sturdy, leather-like material with metal holes. I think those are pretty standard. Just buy like 10 of them and your set. ^^; I’m sure Boston’s gotta have LES-like place. It’s cheaper than even the places I mentioned first.

Those are GREAT ideas and I haven't been to any of those yet. *heart* Thanks!

I bought three belts at a 100 yen store in Japan. They are all plain; one in green, one khaki and one black. They are among my favourite investments, ever.

...not that I'm recommending you to go to a 100 yen store in Japan for your belts. :)() But maybe a 99 cent store or something here in the states will provide as well...?

[kay-willow.livejournal.com]

...want.

*tells alicia that in-between kancho attempts she should stalk the local 100-yen store... and then pay thirty times that in shipping it to me*
